I am validating the following code. Apparently it is an error for me to close my P tag after closing the UL tag, even in HTML5. Please tell me you are not still creating standards with 'implied' actions by tags! Surely the lessons of many years have taught us what happens when there are hidden rules and exceptions to rules within a standard. Many would argue that in fact, that is by definition NOT a standard. A rule like this is not only counterintuitive, but FORCES this document to be unparseable as XML! I insist that this is correct and should not fail validation! Please make HTML6 an ACTUAL standard... you know: have rules but don't build in unnecessary and counterintuitive exceptions from the get-go... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <p>For a crash course on the workings of Vermilion Desktop Composer, it is recommended that you start with the following classes: <ul> <li><a href='VermilionCore.html'>VermilionCore</a> [SNIP] </li> </ul> </p> <p>This particular package defines the various interfaces and bases that comprise the application framework.</p> </body> </html>
